Lord Geordie Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) As a lot of you know, I was looking for extra time at work! I got my hours for the coming week, STILL NO SIGN OF A CONTRACT YET! but the new hours are a bit of a shock, and I hope they are not just going to take the **** out of me and try using me as a stop gap! We have 2 people off, one has left, and another wants out of the warehouse! So starting tomorrow Sat 1 - 8 Sun 7 - 2 Mon 6 - 12 then 15.00 - 21.00 Tue off Wed 14.00 - 21.00 Thu 12.00 - 21.00 Fri off I assume this will be temproary, and I will be settled into a 32 hour contract soon! But they seem to be dragging their heels with the contract! Edited April 29, 2016 by Lord Geordie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjimmer Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 I did over 4 years of 10pm-6am Mon-Fri in a warehouse, but 10pm-10am Mon-Sat if available. 30% extra for nights. One chap did 6pm-6am for 35 consecutive days just before one Xmas. 1.5 x rate for first 10 hours per week and 2 x rate after that. When the firm mover to the Midlands, that all stopped.

fenboy Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 You wanted extra hours and you got extra hours , I don't understand what the complaint is . I would think a large majority of working men put those hours and more into a week including myself , there will also be plenty working 6-7 days a week .

Lord Geordie Posted April 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 The issue I the fact I am covering absences, and after being told nobody is allowed more than 37 hours! I am put on 42? No consistency! The major issue at work I the fact that when I first started there, there were four of us working the shift! One unloading, two splitting down the pallets, one racking away etc! Now there is just ME to do all this! Unloading, booking in, splitting, racking, return logistics, cleaning, so its got extremely hard for one person to cope The hours themselves are FINE! Its what's expected within them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble with that, is I make rod for my own back! I work hard, and I mean hard! I don't like sitting idle. So work myself into the ground! I wear myself out and often get so run down I catch colds and flu very easy! The way I see it! I am paid to work, not slack! Its more because they screwed up by not having something in place for the absences and leaver! And decide to throw it ALL on me!

Its what's expected within them It's the way of the world I am afraid , I work 12 hour shifts , there used to be 31 of us on a shift , there are now 23 we too still have to do all the work that 31 once did.

keg Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 There is a phrase. " If you want something doing, as a busy man" Sadly LG, you of of the mould that will always do what is asked and more.
